Who would adapt best?

I watch UFC, and Pride on occassion. I am not very familiar with the names of fighters. I just watch at times because, I like to see good fight . However, one thing I have noticed is, I don't see guys that are good with their hands to often. So, my question is. What fighters from either of these Organizations could step into a boxing ring and become a champion?

I think it is easier to add tools than it is to take them away. Some fighters may be more dominant in a given area, but once reliant on a particular arsenal, I think it is hard to cut them out. There has been a few kickboxers (thinking Kathy Long but I am sure there have been others) that have gone the boxing route and done well, but not as dominant in their original sport. Flipside of that, Dennis Alexio was a average boxer turned kickboxing champion...and Van Damme film co-star in a wheelchair!

Interesting! Something to think about.

If, you are dominant in one area wouldn't that make a fighter more affective then the fighter who is average in several areas?

The street argument is retarded. BJJ is so much overkill for the street that its ridiculous. Unless you're the idiot that picks a fight with the high school wrestling team, barring knife or gun play, the opponent shouldn't make it past double leg + ground and pound - Osiris

Also I think it's easier for an elite grappler to get moderate striking skils that support his (or her) grappling than it is for an elite striker to develop grappling skills that support their striking.

However when an Elite striker develops thos grappling skills, watch the **** out. because now you got a Crop Cop on your hands.
